Blackcliff Wood Camp is a prehistoric promontory fort located inland in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM027. The site consists of a naturally defended headland or spur of high ground, utilising the surrounding topography as a defensive barrier, with additional earthwork fortifications constructed to enhance protection across the most vulnerable approaches. Dating to the Iron Age, the camp represents a form of settlement and defensive strategy characteristic of later prehistoric communities in Wales. The fort's location and construction reflect the strategic concerns of its period, when such elevated, naturally defensible positions were favoured for settlement and territorial control.
